Argon/Helium gas blend is often used for welding non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and high-alloy steels. The addition of helium can increase heat input and penetration, while improving arc stability. This gas blend can also help reduce porosity and improve weld quality.
Features
- Inert gas mixture with low thermal conductivity and high ionization potential
- Provides stable arc during welding and cutting processes
- Improves penetration and bead appearance in welding
- Reduces spatter and porosity in welding
- Suitable for use with various metals, including aluminum and stainless steel
- Ideal for high voltage and high amperage applications
- Offers better performance and cost efficiency compared to pure argon or helium gases
Applications
- Welding of non-ferrous metals
- Welding of stainless steel
- Welding of high-alloy steels
